I get the distinct impression you would be a nasty surprise to anyone attempting to do you or yours harm, because of your awareness, and wisdom.

My unpredictability is both a great strength and a great weakness. My unpredictability has hinderd my success in life, and at least three times it has saved my life. My wife of almost 4 decades, still cannot predict what I might do next. Sometimes I don't even know. I certainly know what is out there! I've been tricked by the best and learned from it. I love to be underestimated.

Those youtube videos of blitz attacks are training films for the grandkids. The women in my family are repeatedly told to NEVER get into a car! Run, or fight and die right there. My grandchildren are armed with pepper spray and some sort of knife when they walk about town, AND our community is as safe as any. Grandson is 14 and is approaching 7 years of TKD training. Granddaughter is 10 and is approaching 4 years of TKD. Then there are the hours of training at home in the summer. I show them how to really use what they are trained to do. They practice knees and elbows. They watch MMA to learn what kicks are "safer kicks" in a real fight. Both know where and how to strike or kick to severely disable or kill, and both know where to cut for a perp to bleed out quickly. They practice this. They are taught not to use excessive force. We discuss various scenarios. I try to keep them wary. Some justified fear is good!

I teach them to anticipate, and to strike first! Not even a hint of a warning. Call it an "anticipatory blitz". And they are taught to think in combinations of strikes. For example: If it is a strike with a neck knife for the eye, the attackers arms will go up, and the instinctual second strike would be for the artery under the arm with an immediate side kick to the knee. Then back to the face and throat with the knife. Take whatever is open, and keep attacking until the aggressor is down, flees, or is unable to pursue when you retreat. This is ONLY in a life threatening situation.
